    Excel Dates and Times in Number Format

    Hi all,

    Hope you are well in this trying time.

    I have pulled a report of meetings with their start datetime and end datetime, as I want to do a volume analysis for how many meetings took place per hour window, one what days etc.

    However, the report I pulled from our CRM shows the datetime value as a number in the 44000s for start and end and, even when I convert format of that number to short date for date and time for the time, I still cannot undertake proper analysis. How do I convert (not by just changing the format type) and separate these dates so I have the following columns:
    • Meeting Name
    • Start Date in the format DD/MM/YY with the format type as 'General' (ie not by setting it to 'Date') so I can extract the day numbers from it
    • Start Time in the format HH:MM:SS with the format type as 'General' (ie not by setting it to 'Time') so I can extract the hours only from it
    • End Date in the format DD/MM/YY with the format type as 'General' (ie not by setting it to 'Date') so I can extract the day numbers from it
    • End Time in the format HH:MM:SS with the format type as 'General' (ie not by setting it to 'Time') so I can extract the hours only from it

    I have attached the workbook to this. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Like this:

    =TEXT(B2,"DD/MM/YY")

    and this:

    =TEXT(B2,"HH:MM:SS")
